Radiology as a Diagnostic Aid in Clinical Surgery

Tiiis, the fifth edition in eight years of this comprehensive textbook, is adequate proof of its world-wide appeal to students and practitioniers alike. The editor and contributors are to be congratulated on their industry in pouring so much basic science and sound practical medicine into a little over 1,000 pages of text witlhout recourse to small print. The frequent revisions havc assured that the book is fully up to date, a number of useful tables anid illustrations arc included, and the appelndix contains a series of diets with useful explanatory notes. Treatment is covered in sufficient detail and the dosage of drugs recommended is given in both the apothecary and metric systems. Onc cani fully recommend this keenly priced book as a companion in study to the student who, in the crowded curriculum, requires a coIIcise, factual and essentially practical textbook of medicine. M.
